TimTaylor751647545500 Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 I don't understand how this happens. Granted, I've come close a few times when I've decided to go just one more exit, but never have. My girlfriend was talking to her sister on the phone today and her sister ran out mid-conversation. This is the third time in less than 6 months. She wanted us to drive nearly to Springfield to help her out, but she just used her AAA instead. Kicker is, she keeps a gas can in her trunk (guess it's empty). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verse Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 I've ran out three times in my Corolla a while back. The fuel sending unit never tells you very accurately how much fuel you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 I have never had this happen. I always fill up when I am 1/4-1/2 tank empty. Maybe this female should do that from now on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimTaylor751647545500 Posted March 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Maybe this female should do that from now on. You would think after the first time, one would learn wouldn't you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar1647545494 Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 I ran out once coming back from work. I didn't have any money to buy any gas. Forgot my wallet at home. :shrug: Another time the car stalled with a 1/4 tank of gas. Put more gas in it and some fuel cleaner and she started right back up. Bad gas.

Farkas Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 I'd be embarrased if I ran out of gas.. I don't see how someone can run out of gas when they know they're about to be out, JUST FILL IT UP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue98ls1 Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 I have only run out of gas once. I had a fuel line break while driving. No fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
large_x7 Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 I've run out of gas once in every car I've ever owned (except the 3, so far.) I always think I can push it one more mile, or I'm in a hurry, etc. Then I learn my lesson. Although, to be fair, once I ran out of gas on the way to the gas station.

Mr. Jones Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 I had it happen once. I forgot my Fiero's gas guage gets stuck at 1/4 of a tank and doesn't register past that. Didn't drive it for months and forgot about that. PLUNK there I was. Thank god for roadside assistance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Primera Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 You know what I think is really stupid is the people that only put $5-10 in the tank every day and have to get gas the next day. Even when gas prices are good, they still throw $5-10 in and run on E all day, knowing approx how many miles they got after the gas light comes on. I know too many of these people.

TTQ B4U Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 I ran out once as I pulled into a gas station. No shit....was in my company minivan & stalled at Shell at the corner of Sawmill and Snouffer. I was on the phone coming back from a business trip, and never looked until I noticed the car was running rough at the off ramp. Saw the needle past the "E" and the empty line. Thankfully I made the left turn light and made it off the main road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy1647545504 Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 I had a 1990 Civic hatch, and tried to drive overnight in February from my parents' house in Northern VA to my Grandparents' house off of Schrock. The trip was 412 miles, and I found the maximum range of my Civic was 396. I ran out of gas 1/2 mile from the Pataskala exit on 70 at 2:00 in the morning. To add insult to injury, it started to snow while I was walking to the gas station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lustalbert Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Once, right after I put a new fuel gauge in the Brick. 1/8 = E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Main3s Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 I ran out twice. Once I was hung-over and not paying attention (that sucked). The other time I was in a hurry to get some where and didn’t want to stop for gas. I ended up running out of gas right across the street from a gas station. It was kind of funny having to wait at the light with a bright ass red gas can then cross the street, fill it up and wait at the light again, just to walk across the street to fill it up. If I was driving by or at that intersection I would have laughed at myself. I’m pretty sure that irony at its best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putty Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 I did this on my dirtbike in the middle of no where. I forgot to check it before I took off. Never in car though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
